Default Post the known scents of the Aqua Velva Universe Here

I just saw an Ebay auction for some interesting Aqua Velva variants that I've never seen before (Redwood & Menthol Mist). I can't post the live link but it is easily findable for those that want to go after this treasure trove. Anyhoo It got me thinking it might be interesting to have a consolidated list of all the AV flavors out there:

Currently Available in the States:
Classic Ice Blue
Musk
Ice Sport
Ice Balm

Available outside the US:
Original Sport (green color available in Canada, citrusy scent)

Vintage Aqua Velva's:
Frost Lime
Redwood
Menthol Mist
Aqua Velva (the original)

So what am I missing?

The green one is:

Aqua Velva Original Sport (really good- like the Ice Blue, but with a citrusy scent)

I love the AV Original Sport , but I can't use it on my face.

I use it as a light cologne now.


I also have the Ice Balm, which also has a citrusy scent (but different from the Green)

Does anyone know which stores in the US still carry the Ice Balm? I bought it from the local grocery store and CVS but they had clearance on it and don't carry it anymore.

I've never seen the Ice Balm in the brick & mortar stores in my area (northeast CVS, Walgreens, Target, Wal-Mart) but plenty of places carry it on line and a lot of these places (like drugstore.com) offer free shipping if you have a minimum order size. That is a good route to go if you are having trouble finding it locally.

The original (pre-ice blue) was already mentioned here. I wonder what it smelled like? And when they quit making it?
